Off to San Diego
I do apologize for the long hiatus from writing. I do have a good reason though. Just around the holiday break my husband got a wonderful job offer for a company based in San Diego. He was not actually looking for a job and was quite content where he was but then this offer was dangled in front of us. And it is really exciting opportunity for him and one we felt we just couldn’t refuse.
And so, after 6 years in the Bay Area, we are moving to San Diego!
The past month has been a blur of getting the house ready for listing (what a horrid time to sell!), preparing the kids, telling friends and family, making numerous trips down to San Diego to get a sense of the communities and schools there. Whew! We are all quite exhausted. And we haven’t made the move yet!
The kids reaction to the news was so reflective of their personalities. Woody was not thrilled by the idea of moving. He said that he was “10% excited and 90% nervous”. The 10% excitement came from the fact that we would be closer to Legoland! We moved to the Bay Area from London when he was 6 months old and he has not known living anywhere but the house that we are in. He will really miss his two good friends here! Buzz went upstairs packed his little suitcase full of books and insisted he was ready for the new adventure! “Let’s go Mommy!” he said quite cheerfully.
We had a big debate about whether we should finish the school year and then move or whether we should move right away and I think we have decided to move right away. This will give the boys some time to settle down. One option we are exploring is homeschooling the boys for the last few months of the school year so they won’t have too many transitions to make. This will also give me a sense of whether this is something I am able to do well 
I will continue to post sporadically until we are settled down there. Wish us luck over the next few weeks of big transitions!
GOOD LUCK! Wow, that was quick
All the very very best. Oh but I will miss you 
Do update us of your adventures when you have the time!
Hi Amita,
Glad to see you back here! And that is a great news! Change is always good. Atleast I think so:).
I hope everything works well for you folks. Homeschooling for the rest of the year…well, I say go for it. I would say just do ton of field trips for the rest of the school year and make more memories…..Kids will learn a lot more than in school anyways..
Good luck.
